Find out why coco peat is gaining in popularity as a growing media.

Coco peat, which is made from coconut fiber is terrific for use as a terrarium bedding or plant substrate. It has excellent water holding capacity yet drains extremely well. This is a renewable resource and can be used in place of peat moss and is 100% natural and is biodegradable.

Coconut Fiber

Coconut fiber will not turn into a rotting mush when used in wet environments because it degrades very slowly and may lasting up to 5 years. When used as a potting media for live plants to add additional nutrients, the coconut fiber will require a soil amendment which is generally sold separately.

Coco Peat

Sold as a highly compressed brick, when placed in 1 gallon of water, it will expand in 20 minutes to yield enough material to be used in up to a 20 gallon terrarium. Coconut fiber may be used moist to provide humidity for tropical environments or allow to dry for use as a soft, absorbent animal bedding.
